On a side note. Someone here recognise that troll. Did not expect that one in a training video. /Does this mean Thomas is a nerd that likes to hunt more monsters than the ones in your belly :)
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial W e all like your videos. On one of your videos you mentioned that if you can't sleep taking DHEA relaxes your smooth muscles and can help you sleep. I started taking DHEA and I sleep so well now! 😌
Love's the sh*t out of him and his science, 2 and a half months ago I was pot belly fat and ugly, felt out of place and his videos help change my state of mind, change the way I eat, when I eat and how we eat, and what it does for your health. He can be my nerd anytime and his lovely wife Amber too :) thank you Thomas :)
1) Lack of protein/deficiency in lucien 2) Magnesium deficiency 3) Leaky gut (eating a lot of gluten/grains) 4) Visceral fats (eating multiple meals and snackings) 5) Lack of sleep
I'll be honest. I'm 60 days into Intermittent fasting. I don't follow any other crazy diet rules other than my fasting. I went from 185 to 165 (I am a six foot tall man) and feeling great! Thanks amigo 🤙
Please do a video about people that have switch between day and night shifts all the time (im a nurse) with the resulting lack of proper sleep and what we can do about it cheers
Its not natural and it should not exist. The body is not designed to change schedules like that. Tell your boss its unhealthy and needs to stop. For day shift have day nurses. And night shift night nurses. Whats the point of fucjing up peoples schedules every couple of weeks.
Here’s a tangent for you from the psychological side; IBS diagnosis and high cortisol levels have been identified in children who have been emotionally and physically abused. Doctors have identified that gut bacteria is of course affected by chronic stress. We typically carry the emotional baggage from our childhood into our adult lives. We act like it’s the past, but the stress we’ve been under for a long time, continues...If you have these conditions from a challenged childhood, it’s important to understand you can solve it through diet AND with the support of a psychologist or other therapist. In those cases you have to take a multi disciplinary approach. I know because this was my experience in childhood and I will tell you that eating Keto and doing IF are the icing on the cake when you take care of your psyche too! I’m proof that therapy and healthy diet can change your life.
Thomas to this day deserves a like on his every video, cause he always put the summary in the description. He is the only person i have seen doing this on youtube. Funny thing is, by beeing able to see the conclusion, or the topics beforehand, i might watch a video i would have skipped otherwise because i find something interesting in it.
Dávid Tóth exactly and what amazes me actually is that he‘s doing these summaries really in-depth backing it up with proof so it‘s more than just a summary.
I used to major in Nutrition, but had to switch because I could not keep up with the science so watching your videos help so much, thank you!! i have learned so much :))
Another great vid! Leaky gut is really the take home issue here. In our offices gut health is near the top of the list of priorities when addressing patients for weight loss and also a litany of systemic disorders.
Dr. Matthew Nuesse D.C. CME - OK - “leaky gut” - does this occur in everyone on some level? How does one know if you have this condition? And lastly, belly fat - that is my challenge as I have gotten older. I stopped snacking between meals, I don’t sleep through the night as I have to use the restroom during the sleeping hours. That said, I typically can go back to bed and to sleep after the restroom break. Now I do enjoy my wine in the evening and this may be my downfall. I need to lose the gut/belly fat. How can that be achieved easily without liposuction surgery? Thanks.
@@steveh.3901 Think of it like the difference between a balloon and a mesh bag. The balloon is not impermeable (will leak air) but will not allow objects to pass through. The mesh bag will hold larger objects but pass smaller ones. If the gut wall is leaking bacteria an food stuffs into the bloodstream directly a host of chronic conditions can occur. Unfortunately this is often a condition that is treated after other treatments fail.
Dr. Matthew Nuesse D.C. CME - Thanks for sending me your reply/reflections to my question about leaky gut problems. Well, I do have acid reflux and that is under treatment with medications. Overall, I feel fine, yet belly fat has become a problem. Any guidance on how to reduce/eliminate it without massive changes to diet and the enjoyment of wine with dinners? Thanks!
This man helped change my life, down 100lbs off of all blood pressure meds I was on 5 a day and 2 cholesterol pills, 2 GERD pills... The only thing I wish is this IBS would go away but I don't see that ever happening.
I just took a high-level class with Special Operations on fighting fatigue. It all comes down to quality sleep and sufficient sleep. There were no drugs, no tricks, no gimmicks etc that have proven to work in a military environment to reduce fatigue. The only thing that works to reduce fatigue is sleep. There are a lot of good videos and blogs out there on increasing quality of sleep. Think about this: how has sleep survived through evolution: it leaves us vulerable, it has an opportunity cost, it's requires peace, safety, and quiet..... i.e. we are giving up a lot to get sleep. But, we still need to do it.... Therefor, the body must really really really value sleep. Sleep has some functions that are similar to fasting -- the body begins to clean itself during sleep.
Another fantastic video Thomas! Please create more videos like this where you come at issues from different angles and shed extra light on topics and subjects. Thanks to you and your team!!
Hello Thomas Thanks for all the great information I have been on as clean as possible Keto and following strict macros and have lost 45 lbs since April 2019 looking forward to new information everyday thanks
Timing is as perfect as always. I've been focusing on cortisol a lot lately since I started doing a mid day coffee again and have had some minor skin issues. Thanks for all of the great info!
I have Cyclical Cushings Disease due to pituitary microadenoma 1.5mm and hyperplasia of the gland. Also now have Hashimotos. I’m so angry. I went to Endos from day 1 of symptoms and was routinely told my symptoms were psychosomatic. I wish cortisol was drawn way more often. ESP on women with central weight distribution, moon face, and purple striae, or who have been diagnosed with PCOS (I was, it’s over diagnosed and SO OFTEN women w Cushings are MISDIAGNOSED w PCOS) God Bless
I had a tumour on my one of my adrenal glands, it was an active tumour and malignant (7 cm), which means that it produces hormones. Normal cortisol levels are 30-180, mine was 6900! I had that for at least 6 months, luckily they caught it when i was in for a kidney stone and had a CT scan done. I was diagnosed with Adrenocortical Carcinoma, quite rare! Im on hydrocortisone now, 25 mg a day, hoping that my other adrenal gland will start producing cortisol , right now its dormant since the tumour produces so much., and later Mitotane, a chemotherapy drug. Its incredibly hard to loose weight. I had Cushings syndrom, where the excess cortisol converts your muscle protein to glucose and then fat and stores it around your abdomen and face, you get the so called moon face, but skinny arms and legs. I ballooned in weight, went from 175 lbs to 250 lbs in about 4-5 months. Ravenous appetite. Its VERY hard to loose weight now, Im on a low carb diet (under 20g a day, all from vegetables) 1000-1200 kcal a day, a 30 min walk, and ive plateaued at 210 lbs, been there for 17 days now. I eat 2mad, 5-600 kcal a meal, and a protein intake of 75-85 g of protein a day. I was thinking I should lower my fat intake and up my protein intake, since Im guessing the cortisol is storing the fat immediately, and if i ate more protein, at least there would be some energy expenditure when converting to fat? Its incredibly frustrating to plateau, as Im sure you all know!
I love most of the contend, however I will bring up a point in terms of meal prequency. Since many people struggle with unstable blood sugars, going hypoglycemic on a daily basis (even some Keto dieters) when meals are spaced too far in between, I'd argue that these people who have this tendency, would benefit of more frequent and smaller meals. Thereby we also decrease cortisol since we don't stress our system with those blood sugar drops.
Thomas! Make a video about prolonged keto flu from the beginning of a keto transition. As i came into keto 8 weeks ago i actually added dairy to my diet daily thinking id slow down later but i liked it. It seemed to work for the first couple of weeks i passed the flu but then it went down hill and i just assumed it was apart of adaptation. I was getting gas all the time, smelly and uncomfortable. Well one night my turkish neighbor brought over homemade yogurt after dinner last weekend so needless to say i ate a good amount. Then later that night i was getting alot of gas and i wss reading a keto book that talked about dairy and it just clicked. It took a day and the gas calmed down... now its practically gone... my ketosis is feeling stronger andnmy energy is going through the rough. My electrolytes are sustaining, my low energy gone and my urgent urination gone. But ive seen NOTHING on this subject. NOTHING
@@NewWorldDAO Thanks Gen. Yeah i already take electrolytes and Himalayan rock salt. I'll switch to Redmond's real salt when I finish the Himalayan. However no matter how much I took these it did not helo enough. Removing lactose seems to be doing the trick in combination with rock salts and electrolytes :)
Omgsh this was such a good video. It was encouraging bc I’m already starting to do these things in my life. You’ve been such a big help. Along with Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Berg.
You mentioned sleep, but have you listened to Rhonda Patrick's interview with the sleep scientist Matthew Walker? He's performed many sleep studies and has written a great book on sleep. Maybe a future topic video? I'd love to see more info you might find on sleep, even if it differs with what I've heard. Thanks again for the great video!.
*Great topic brother! Just got back from a health mastermind and 3 people came up to me and thought i was you lol.. I personally don't see it but thought it was funny!*
It would be nice to expand on the science related to endurance athletes (cycling, running) and cortisol production. This is something that I ran into personally.
Thank you Thomas. You always go the extra mile for us. Thinking of new, bright, interesting, engaging & enjoyable ways to better our mindset & body of a healthier lifestyle journey. This is why I subscribe to your channel science. End of. 🙏🏾 💪🏾💛🤙🏾
grains disrupt hormone regulation/expression cortisol. a leaky gut is about the healing process. fasting will help liberate triglycerides. sleep deprivation is actually adaptation. thanks thomas delauer!! you are a life saver!!!
Hi Tomas, I'm new to your channel. I like the way that you are fast and you get right to the point; there's no 7 minute introduction, I hate those on people's videos.
Again super video as always. If I only had been told this when I was younger. Doing all now and working a treat both for my health and fitness as well as my weight.
Gosh I really and truly love how Thomas puts everything in to so much perspective..... Thank you so very much for how you have taken your time, to expain things with so much in depth. I also thing number 4. Is what my problem is..
@@lynnecobb9399 take 1/3 daily dose magnesium citrate in the morning. Then use magnesium again in the evening with some (NOT cheap carbonate) calcium before bed. Get a b complex with benfotiame and take for 1 week. These should fix your sleep for several years.
Great video! I’m just starting to dive into the science behind the Keto Diet, so love these kind of videos 🤗 Will you be speaking at KetoCon 2020? Hope to see you there!
@ThomasDelauer Hey Thomas- awesome video! What kind of Magnesium would be best for fighting high cortisol levels and what mg dosage would be best? Thanks!
I'm curious about sleep. I have recently started keto within the last 6 months prior to this I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years ago. I generally sleep about 5-6 hrs a night due to work and family schedule. With aid from a CPAP I would get solid deep uninterrupted sleep. However when I started to adjust to keto I have been struggling to either get to sleep or sleep without any interruption and am waking up constantly.
One question for the Q&A: If you use the sauna after the fasted workout, when should you eat the protein and carbs for the insulin spike? (after the workout, or after the sauna)
I haven’t seen you make a video on Keto and the different body types, Endomorphs, Ectomorph, and Mesomorphs. I’ve read a couple things saying that Endomorphs have to increase carbs on keto. I trust and value your research on things like these. Can you possibly make a video on it?
I started Keto a week ago today. In the first two days I lost 9lbs. I know that is all water weight. I want to follow that month challenge you had going to see if I can optimize weight loss. I have to get rid of 166lbs. I am 58. One of my biggest concerns are the excess skin. I don't think there is much I can do about it. Anyway..when you talk about the meals we eat you didn't mention if adding fat to cook with. I have been cooking the eggs with bacon fat. Am I adding too much fat by doing this? I am using an app too keep track and I seem to coming in much lower on carbs , slightly less protein and going over on fat. Your videos have been helping me to understand a lot. I just keep coming up with more questions..lol
I love your vids and watch them all the time but in this one, I have to point out what seems to be a slip up. In regards to the Leaky Gut section and when you say, "IBS, obviously Inflammatory Bowel Disease, that is incorrect. I have IBS. And although you do make a good point, IBS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are two totally separate things. IBD is a more serious condition and should be treated as such if you were diagnosed with it.
Once in a while I check the studies Thomas posts. Well, about the magnesium: It is tested on mice. Also, it could be an association. When in stress, your body (mice) use more magnesium, therefore deficient. They used anti-depressants and diazepam by the way. Not a dose dependant controlled study on magnesium, let alone on humans....... and then make a video about it for millions of people.
''Overall, the present findings demonstrate the robustness and validity of the Mg(2+) deficiency model as a mouse model of enhanced anxiety, showing sensitivity to treatment with anxiolytics and antidepressants. It is further suggested that dysregulations in the HPA axis may contribute to the hyper-emotionality in response to dietary induced hypomagnesaemia. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Anxiety and Depression'.''
About the ''gluten'': only thing that can be said from that study is this: ''IBS is characterized by an overactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and a proinflammatory cytokine increase.''. Nothing about gluten.
About the protein: it is about Leucine DEPRIVATION, in mice. Conclusion: ''Our hypothesis that CNS leucine plays a role in regulating fat loss under leucine deprivation was confirmed by the observation that icv administration of leucine significantly attenuates fat loss and body weight reduction in leucine-deprived mice''. So where do you recommend the amount of protein (leucine in this case) we need? So you jump to the conclusion: ''Get as much protein as possible''?
I have been IF for just over four months with not so good results. I started due to slightly high LDL cholesterol and after four months of getting blood work my LDL has increased significantly, along with my blood pressure. Other then that, I have lost about 10lbs, and honestly like it. Help please. Ben
Possible to make a video on how to carb up after 3 months of keto to build muscle up. Wasn't explained what carbs the athletes ate in one of your past videos.
Slow digesting carbs work best, but quick digesting carbs are good too. Just don't use fructose or carbs that aren't absorbed by the muscles (as fructose, sucrose, corn sirup, maltodextrine, resistant starches, fibers...).
A question about the quality of sleep, my wife has sleep apnea, would that be adding to cortisol production? She has been on a ketogenic diet now for over a month and a half and has lost about 6 pounds and is flat stalled her weight loss, could this be the problem?
She loses fat so shes in a kcal deficit. Make sure once a week she ISNT in a kcal deficit. Otherwise her metabolism will keep slowing down till she starts gaining fat by eating nothing.
Great video, as always Thomas. Thank you for the hard work you do on getting all of this together to teach people what they need to know. Much appreciated !
I tried taking magnesium because I know I'm deficient but it made me wired and kept me up all night! It was supposed to be relaxing and help me sleep. Magnesium Malate, Glycinate, and Taurate combo. And I only took 1 75mg pill.
Apply magnesium chloride gel to your skin, or get mag chloride flakes for baths. Transdermal is an optimal way to get your magnesium. Look on avatarproducts.com or 12foryou.mysimplestore.com respectively for these products.
First it's fasting. Then it's intermittent fasting. Then it goes to eat several times throughout the day to keep your metabolism going. Then he says don't do that now go long stretches between meals. I am finding this very confusing. Beyond that I thought that if you go long periods between meals you drop your blood sugar then when you eat it you spike your blood sugar and because you went from a fasted state to having food now you're going to store those calories. Not to mention if you are already overweight then you might have blood sugar issues. Why would I then once you go a long time between meals?
@@HealthyAmbitions from what I know it's not the same, visceral is hard fat that covers our organs and subcutaneous is soft fat that's right underneath the skin.
sigliph if a person has high amounts of belly fat (subcutaneous fat), more than like they already have excessive visceral fat (around organs), either of these is bad news that will lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, etc
I want to gain muscle and lose fat I'm debating what diet would increase more muscle I'm lost I been watching videos of every kind now I'm into paralysis analysis what to do🤷
4:15. It’s like the sleeping baby. Some fool knocks on the door . . . the dog loses its mind and starts barking . . . baby wakes up screaming . . . mama loses her sh!t. “If you want to live, you’ll be gone before I open the door!!!” 🤬 Just block the door, man.

Get a b complex with benfotiame and take for 1 week.
These should fix your sleep for several years.
Already supplementing with magnesium.
These things have helped a lot: 1) ashwaghanda root; 2) rosemary oil; 3) holy basil (tulsi)
THIS VIDEO IS MAKING ME STRESSED 🤪
Katie & Jasper 😂
Please talk about shift work and cortisol levels.
Excellent video and so true! Been there, done that.
Hi Tom. Your speed now is very well suited for general audience followers☺☺☺☺
Thanks thomas for the great content about cortisol recently !!
Ur videos standard has been exciting and your effort im grateful for.. I can feel you enjoy it more now you know what things we love
Thank you for talking about this!! 🙏🏼✨
Great video! I’m just starting to dive into the science behind the Keto Diet, so love these kind of videos 🤗
Will you be speaking at KetoCon 2020? Hope to see you there!
As always Thomas, inspiring and informative...
Thank you for the very useful info. I really appreciate your channel and the daily inspiration.
@ThomasDelauer Hey Thomas- awesome video! What kind of Magnesium would be best for fighting high cortisol levels and what mg dosage would be best? Thanks!
Search his videos, he has one on magnesium it’s really good
Probably Magnesium Glycinate
Almonds. You can use tiny amounts of Epsom Salts (like 1/8 tsp or .5 gram)
This past two days I been doing more depth reasarch about cortiso and weigh gain Wich I'm dealing now, and whoala perfect video pops 👌☺️
As always a really nice and welcome video. Please do a video on night cycles explainig them more in-depth.
OMG, I am getting so overwhelmed and confused...I truly don't know what to do now.
Hi Thomas, thanks for your time in putting these videos together. Q. nuts- raw are best in terms of nutrients benefits? Tx
I'm curious about sleep. I have recently started keto within the last 6 months prior to this I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years ago. I generally sleep about 5-6 hrs a night due to work and family schedule. With aid from a CPAP I would get solid deep uninterrupted sleep. However when I started to adjust to keto I have been struggling to either get to sleep or sleep without any interruption and am waking up constantly.
Thank you, Thomas.
One question for the Q&A: If you use the sauna after the fasted workout, when should you eat the protein and carbs for the insulin spike? (after the workout, or after the sauna)
Fascinating, man! Great video. Thank you. :)
Thom, many thanks!
I haven’t seen you make a video on Keto and the different body types, Endomorphs, Ectomorph, and Mesomorphs. I’ve read a couple things saying that Endomorphs have to increase carbs on keto. I trust and value your research on things like these. Can you possibly make a video on it?
Hi Thomas, what is your opinion on Keto Protein Powders/ MCT powder?
Great video its always good to hear about other things than keto, thrive Market asks you for a credit card before you even se the products.
I started Keto a week ago today. In the first two days I lost 9lbs. I know that is all water weight. I want to follow that month challenge you had going to see if I can optimize weight loss. I have to get rid of 166lbs. I am 58. One of my biggest concerns are the excess skin. I don't think there is much I can do about it. Anyway..when you talk about the meals we eat you didn't mention if adding fat to cook with. I have been cooking the eggs with bacon fat. Am I adding too much fat by doing this? I am using an app too keep track and I seem to coming in much lower on carbs , slightly less protein and going over on fat. Your videos have been helping me to understand a lot. I just keep coming up with more questions..lol
What form of Mg is best for reducing cortisol?
awesome video. Although very distracting, using "right" at the end of most of your sentences.
Regarding reducing stress (and balancing hormones, ie increasing testestorone), have you Thomas, heard of Ashwaganda? A herb that seems to do wonders
I would like Thomas to do a video on adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola
what about working overnight and sleeping during the day
I love your vids and watch them all the time but in this one, I have to point out what seems to be a slip up. In regards to the Leaky Gut section and when you say, "IBS, obviously Inflammatory Bowel Disease, that is incorrect. I have IBS. And although you do make a good point, IBS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are two totally separate things. IBD is a more serious condition and should be treated as such if you were diagnosed with it.
Great vid!
Once in a while I check the studies Thomas posts. Well, about the magnesium:
It is tested on mice. Also, it could be an association. When in stress, your body (mice) use more magnesium, therefore deficient. They used anti-depressants and diazepam by the way. Not a dose dependant controlled study on magnesium, let alone on humans....... and then make a video about it for millions of people.
''Overall, the present findings demonstrate the robustness and validity of the Mg(2+) deficiency model as a mouse model of enhanced anxiety, showing sensitivity to treatment with anxiolytics and antidepressants. It is further suggested that dysregulations in the HPA axis may contribute to the hyper-emotionality in response to dietary induced hypomagnesaemia. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Anxiety and Depression'.''
About the ''gluten'': only thing that can be said from that study is this: ''IBS is characterized by an overactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and a proinflammatory cytokine increase.''. Nothing about gluten.
About the protein: it is about Leucine DEPRIVATION, in mice. Conclusion: ''Our hypothesis that CNS leucine plays a role in regulating fat loss under leucine deprivation was confirmed by the observation that icv administration of leucine significantly attenuates fat loss and body weight reduction in leucine-deprived mice''.
So where do you recommend the amount of protein (leucine in this case) we need? So you jump to the conclusion: ''Get as much protein as possible''?
Good video wanted to see more like 25 minutes good info like always hi from belgium
Mr Awesome hi from Germany
I have been IF for just over four months with not so good results. I started due to slightly high LDL cholesterol and after four months of getting blood work my LDL has increased significantly, along with my blood pressure. Other then that, I have lost about 10lbs, and honestly like it. Help please.
Ben
Awesome vid
Possible to make a video on how to carb up after 3 months of keto to build muscle up. Wasn't explained what carbs the athletes ate in one of your past videos.
Any carb really, just don't eat bread and bad sugars (dextrose, maltodextrine, fructose...).
Cinnamon helps shuttle glucose into your tissue cells.
@@1yoan3 if I eat rice, be taking high protien correct low fat right?
Slow digesting carbs work best, but quick digesting carbs are good too. Just don't use fructose or carbs that aren't absorbed by the muscles (as fructose, sucrose, corn sirup, maltodextrine, resistant starches, fibers...).
Can you do a review of the new Goli berry apple cider vinegar gummies?
A question about the quality of sleep, my wife has sleep apnea, would that be adding to cortisol production? She has been on a ketogenic diet now for over a month and a half and has lost about 6 pounds and is flat stalled her weight loss, could this be the problem?
She loses fat so shes in a kcal deficit. Make sure once a week she ISNT in a kcal deficit. Otherwise her metabolism will keep slowing down till she starts gaining fat by eating nothing.
Is inflamation always bad?
LOL! Great video! Funny troll. Good info video as are all your videos. Hey btw, liking the buttoned collar shirts.
Great video, as always Thomas. Thank you for the hard work you do on getting all of this together to teach people what they need to know. Much appreciated !
I'm living with stress and depression, i can't tell which is which and i can't tell if it's me or my disfunctional situation 😔
fasting is the cure for stress and depression
Thomas you should talk more about borax
because Magnesium has a huge affect with it
how can we become a thrive sponsor?
I tried taking magnesium because I know I'm deficient but it made me wired and kept me up all night! It was supposed to be relaxing and help me sleep. Magnesium Malate, Glycinate, and Taurate combo. And I only took 1 75mg pill.
Apply magnesium chloride gel to your skin, or get mag chloride flakes for baths. Transdermal is an optimal way to get your magnesium. Look on avatarproducts.com or 12foryou.mysimplestore.com respectively for these products.
@@briles24 Show me how it is absorbed through the skin.
Isn't cortisol also anti-inflammatory?
Yes it is, you are correct, but you don't need too much cortisol.
First it's fasting. Then it's intermittent fasting. Then it goes to eat several times throughout the day to keep your metabolism going. Then he says don't do that now go long stretches between meals. I am finding this very confusing. Beyond that I thought that if you go long periods between meals you drop your blood sugar then when you eat it you spike your blood sugar and because you went from a fasted state to having food now you're going to store those calories. Not to mention if you are already overweight then you might have blood sugar issues. Why would I then once you go a long time between meals?
Great 👍
So what about anti cortisol supplement is is helpful
thomas mate i challenge you to make
Isn't the soft fat around the belly subcutaneous? I'm confused when you call it visceral
sigliph I think it’s the same thing? 🤷♀️
@@HealthyAmbitions from what I know it's not the same, visceral is hard fat that covers our organs and subcutaneous is soft fat that's right underneath the skin.
sigliph ah! That makes sense!
sigliph if a person has high amounts of belly fat (subcutaneous fat), more than like they already have excessive visceral fat (around organs), either of these is bad news that will lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, etc
Thank you always the best info. I had better stop watching asmr chiropractic cracking videos after midnight and get more sleep.
Green tea also.?
Can you raise the audio levels on your videos? I can’t hear them on the TV that well compared to the other videos on the platform.
I want to gain muscle and lose fat I'm debating what diet would increase more muscle I'm lost I been watching videos of every kind now I'm into paralysis analysis what to do🤷
When you said that low protien is causing cortasol- what about eating a low prorien diet for autophagy reasons.
Someone needs to do their homework on autophagy.
was that a troll from witcher 3? i love it!
Ernest Scared Stupid
How do you bring it down if you habe done some
Damage??
What about coffee?
Great video!
You had me at reason number ONE.
CARNIVORE ftw!
I had a dream I was eating Pop-Tarts but then it ended rather quickly. Because I forgot I was doing keto!
Protein deficient...but we don't really know what that is. It's highly controversial. Is it not?
Only starving african children have protein deficiency, those that are slim but have big stomachs. Dont remember the name for the disease.
Brilliant
How many hours should I wait to eat my next meal ?
As many as you can tolerate without giving up altogether. 🙂
My middle name is Cortisol.
What's your first name?
Hello Miss Cortisol MoneyPenny. How are you
Corty Cortisolisen
Vitamin c helps suppress it too.
M: Moneypenny, where's 007?😂
(I am sorry, I just had to say that. BTW, I love your username)
Please,make a video about menopause when hormones are so out of whack that women can’t sleep.What to do?
What can you do if you job doesn’t allow you to get a solid 8 hours of sleep?
4:15. It’s like the sleeping baby. Some fool knocks on the door . . . the dog loses its mind and starts barking . . . baby wakes up screaming . . . mama loses her sh!t. “If you want to live, you’ll be gone before I open the door!!!” 🤬
Just block the door, man.
So dont power nap thru the day ? Or sleep hour then 4hours later?
